In my humble opine we should discuss and face what went wrong with the democratic leadership and why they lost/disenfranchised/failed to inspire the gen Z vote in the 2024 elections. I realize it's a painful topic but if we don't fix this, it'll happen again. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Defeatism is exactly what Trump, Vance, and Musk want us to feel.  They’d like nothing better than for us to give up, so they can have it all. Cynicism and hopelessness play into their fetid hands. Keep up the fight.

White House Crypto Scam Part 1/2

PSA: Psy-Ops push at BOTH SIDES of a wedge issue. Opinions you agree with can be as polarizing (and dangerous) as ones you hate. If you really want to believe something you hear - that's a sign you should make sure it's actually true. Angry words aren't as satisfying as effective action.

Yes. This. Even in districts where Republicans do still hold town halls.

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

We AGREE w/ @markhamillofficial.bsky.social now is NOT the time to be silent or in fear. We must raise up our voices on every platform, in every conversation, with family, friends, and strangers. If we remain silent, they WIN. Follow Mark and SHARE if you agree ♻️🪐 #bluecrew #fbr #resist #demcast

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Do you feel terrified, confused, exhausted, overwhelmed, unable to focus or summon any energy to resist? Turn off the media and mute social media pundits who are filling your every thought with what the oligarchy is doing. Breathe. Centre yourself. Focus on what you and the resistance are doing. #3E

It's a coup.

Become a helper, even if you only help in little, local ways. Those acts of kindness and support are the foundation for the better world we deserve. Join the @generalstrikeus.bsky.social to help us fight back and find other helpers

Seems kinda crazy to be working in this NIH grant application in the weekend ‘superpower’ time. But I can’t let some ketamine-riddled billionaire tell me my life’s work is waste. I’m helping babies goddammit!! 🧪

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

In Colorado, after they made a big showing of arresting a “Venzuelan Gang Member” (to back up Trump’s fearmongering) they just declined to press charges and released him. Any update on the guy they did the same about in Chattanooga after the TBI Director made similar claims?

These emails, sent across agencies, compel all federal employees to snitch on any colleague whose work might have some vague DEIA inflection. Those who refuse to snitch will be disciplined. Seems designed to put all workers who aren’t white men under a cloud of suspicion. Truly vile stuff.

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯
